  to conduct detrimental to the league. Coach Mike

  goals from Merit Kostnadinov and Alex Dees, Montreal

  tied the game shortly after. The Bruins had a

  goal waved off late in the second period, and

  a costly mistake allowed Bolduc to score again.

  Next, the Bruins will visit Buffalo on Saturday,
• 5:07
  hoping to bounce back. In top news, the recent
• 5:13
  fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua almost
• 5:16
  cost DraftKings $100 million. But everyday bettors
• 5:21
  were the real losers, as sportsbooks had a profitable
• 5:24
  night. Joshua knocked out Paul in the sixth round,
• 5:28
  while bettors heavily favored Paul, with 86 %
• 5:32
  of wagers placed on him. DraftKings noted a significant
• 5:36
  liability if Paul had won, but they celebrated
• 5:39
  Joshua's victory. Alex Rella from Bed and Jam
• 5:43
  stated it was the best boxing outcome of the
• 5:46
  year. Paul acknowledged his defeat while claiming
• 5:49
  a broken jaw, expressing respect for Joshua as
• 5:53
  a true fighter. In business news, California

• 7:42
  back to the show. Let's talk science. Scientists
• 7:47
  just made teleportation a reality with this groundbreaking
• 7:51
  experiment. Researchers successfully beamed quantum
• 7:55
  information for the first time, which could change
• 7:57
  your life forever. A research team from the University
• 8:01
  of Stuttgart in Germany recently teleported quantum
• 8:05
  information, as published in the journal Nature
• 8:07
  Communications this November. This scientific
• 8:11
  leap could lead to a quantum internet offering
• 8:14
  infinitely more secure information transmission.
• 8:18
  Dejad Ashallam, PhD, states that an entangled
• 8:22
  network of quantum computers could enable unhackable
• 8:26
  messages and solve complex problems. Although
• 8:30
  currently limited, these findings are a crucial
• 8:33
  step toward bridging greater distances in quantum
• 8:36
  communication. And in entertainment news, Jack
• 8:43
  Flack is returning to voice Bowser for the Super
• 8:46
  Mario Galaxy movie, and he is teasing the upcoming
• 8:49
  film. Although he could not disclose much about
• 8:53
  the animated adaptation, the Orange County actor
• 8:56
  stated that video gamers who have played Super
• 8:59
  Mario Galaxy will enjoy it. I am sworn to secrecy,
• 9:04
  but there are tons of Easter eggs, and anyone
• 9:06
  who loves that universe will be very pleased
• 9:08
  with the way it has been brought to the big screen,
• 9:11
  Black told GamesRadar. The film opens in theaters
• 9:15
  on April 3, 2026. Returning voice actors include
• 9:21
  Chris Pratt as Mario, Enya Taylor -Joy as Princess
• 9:24
  Peach, and others. Well, all righty, folks. It's
• 9:29
  time for the quote of the day. And today, our
• 9:33
  quote comes from the American author and humorist,
• 9:37
  Mark Twain. And he said, And that's a wrap for
• 9:50
  this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
